Country of Origin
This HMI unit is manufactured by ABB in Sweden. It is part of the globally recognized Panel 800 portfolio, known for its longevity and compatibility with various industrial protocols.
Application Fields
The PP835 is ideal for machine-level visualization and small-to-medium process control:
- Manufacturing Cells: Controlling individual assembly robots or CNC feeding stations.
- Marine Applications: Monitoring engine parameters or auxiliary systems on bridges (often used due to its high IP rating).
- Building Automation: Managing HVAC, lighting, and security systems in commercial facilities.
- Food & Beverage: Localized control for bottling lines, mixers, and labeling machines where wash-down protection (IP66) is required.
Product Usage Instructions
- Installation: Prepare the panel cutout in the cabinet door. Insert the PP835 and tighten the rear mounting brackets to compress the gasket, ensuring a waterproof seal.
- Powering: Connect a stable 24V DC power source. Use the grounding stud on the rear of the chassis to minimize electrical noise on the touch screen.
- Software Configuration: Use Panel Builder 800 (PB800) to design your graphical interfaces. Projects are typically downloaded to the panel via the Ethernet port.
- Protocol Selection: The PP835 supports over 50 drivers. Configure the communication driver (e.g., ABB COMLI, Modbus TCP, or Profibus) in the software to match your PLC.
- Maintenance: Clean the screen with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using sharp objects on the resistive touch surface to prevent scratching the overlay.
Product Technical Description
The PP835 is engineered for high reliability in demanding environments. Technically, it utilizes a fanless design to prevent dust ingress and reduce mechanical failure points. The 400 MHz processor is optimized for the Windows CE operating system, providing fast screen transitions and responsive touch feedback. The dual serial ports allow for simultaneous communication with different devices, such as a PLC and a barcode scanner or printer, making it a versatile hub for localized automation.
Q&A (Common Questions)
Q: Can the PP835 communicate with non-ABB PLCs? A: Yes. It includes a wide range of drivers for Siemens, Rockwell (Allen-Bradley), Schneider Electric, and standard Modbus devices.
Q: Is the backlight replaceable? A: The PP835 uses a long-life LED backlight. While not typically field-replaceable, the LED technology provides a much longer service life than older CCFL bulbs.
Q: How do I back up the application on the panel? A: You can use a USB flash drive or an SD card (if equipped) to export the runtime project directly from the system menu on the panel.
Q: What is the difference between the PP835 and the PP836? A: The PP836 typically features a larger screen (e.g., 10.4 inches) but shares the same internal processing architecture and software environment.
